DESCRIPTION

Once a result set has been obtained from a call to cp_db_connection_select(3) or cp_db_connection_execute_statement(3), result rows may be retrieved as cp_vector(3) structures by calling cp_result_set_next. Row vectors represent field content as cp_string(3) objects if the results are in text format, or for results in binary format, by field type as follows: 

        CP_FIELD_TYPE_BOOLEAN     --   short
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_CHAR        --   cp_string
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_SHORT       --   short
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_INT         --   int
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_LONG        --   long
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_LONG_LONG   --   long long
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT       --   float
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_DOUBLE      --   double
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_VARCHAR     --   cp_string
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_BLOB        --   cp_string
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_DATE        --   cp_timestampz
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_TIME        --   cp_timestampz
        CP_FIELD_TYPE_TIMESTAMP   --   cp_timestampz

cp_result_set_is_binary may be called to check what format result rows are in. Result set format depends on the driver implementation for the database being queried. For prepared statements, results may be requested in binary or text format by calling cp_db_statement_set_binary(3), but implementations may or may not respect this setting. It is therefor recommended, if in doubt, to consult cp_result_set_is_binary before processing results.

To request the result set to perform memory management, call cp_result_set_autodispose with a non-zero state value before retrieving result rows. Otherwise result rows should be released by calling cp_result_set_release_row.

The result set itself must be released by calling cp_result_set_destroy.

 

META DATA

cp_result_set_get_headers returns a cp_vector containing column titles represented as character pointers.
cp_result_set_get_header is a convenience method for obtaining field title by index.
cp_result_set_get_field_types returns a cp_vector containing opinters to cp_field_type codes describing the column's content type.
cp_result_set_get_field_type is a convenience method for obtaining field type by index.
cp_result_set_field_count returns the number of columns in the result set.
cp_result_set_row_count returns the number of rows fetched and byffered so far. This number may be less than the total number of rows for the originating query before all results have been fetched. If the read size requested on the connection is not one (1), this number may also be larger than the number of rows returned by cp_result_set_next. The number of rows actually fetched from the database may be affected by calling cp_db_connection_set_read_result_set_at_once(3) and cp_db_connection_set_fetch_size(3) before the call to execute the query.  

RETURN VALUE

cp_result_set_next returns a cp_vector describing the next result row or NULL if no more results are available.
cp_result_set_is_binary returns non-zero if results are in binary format, zero if results are in text format.
cp_result_set_get_headers returns a cp_vector containing column titles as character pointers, or NULL if no meta data is available.
cp_result_set_get_header returns the title for the given column index as a character pointer or NULL if no meta data is available.
cp_result_set_get_field_types returns a cp_vector containing pointers to cp_field_type codes describing column content or NULL if no meta data is available.
cp_result_set_get_field_type returns the field type for the given column index or -1 if no meta data is available.
cp_result_set_field_count returns the number of columns in the result set.
cp_result_set_row_count returns the number of rows read and buffered so far.
